1. Dad’s Surprise Trip to Reunite With His Wife and Sick Son

This may be one where words come up short.

2. Hotel Guest Films President Obama Pumping Iron

Ever wondered how heads of state stay in shape? New video of President Obama working out might give you a clue. The video was taken while the commander-in-chief was pumping iron in the gym of a 5-star Marriott hotel in Warsaw, Poland.

The footage got out, because according to Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan, “Hotel guests were not asked to leave the gym…nor were they asked to refrain from taking pictures.”

3. Stanley Cup Tickets for $12?

New Jersey hockey fan Kavi Arora had made an incredible discovery on StubHub: Four seats to the Stanley Cup Finals. Game 6. Madison Square Garden. $12. He bought them immediately. But the next morning, StubHub emailed him saying his transaction was cancelled because the seller was “unable to fulfill the order.” StubHub has offered customers comparable seats in similar situations, but in this case the company opted to give back his $12, because there were no comparable seats at that price. In addition, they offered to give him a $300 voucher, but Arora still wants his seats. Similar tickets for that game start at more than $2,500. Do you think Arora got cheated or should he take the voucher and run? Tweet your response @NBCNightlyNews.

Chester Nez, the last of the 29 Navajo code talkers from World War II, died on Wednesday. Nez was part of a group recruited to develop a code based on the Navajo language. He enlisted when he was in the 10th grade. The code’s sophistication ensured it was impenetrable to the Japanese and it was never broken.

He received a Congressional Gold Medal for his service in 2001 and spent much of his later years traveling and telling his story. Chester Nez was 93.

6. This Robot Knows Exactly How You Feel

Pepper, a robot that reads human emotions, is very cool and slightly creepy at the same time. Created by global conglomerate SoftBank, it stands 4-feet tall and weighs roughly 61 pounds. It has big round eyes, a child-like face, arms, hands, a chest -- and most importantly, an “emotional engine.” The emotional engine is supposed to help Pepper read situations, like smiles and tone of voice, for instance, and report that back to a user. It also giggles and seems to look right at you. Pepper is meant for the home and will be available by the end of next year.
